Hardening or narrowing of arteries due to a waxy
plaque buildup within blood vessels is known as
atherosclerosis. When left uncontrolled, it leads
to serious cardiovascular complications. For
example, a plaque buildup in the coronary
arteries is a common cause of a heart attack.
In order to prevent the development and/or
minimize the negative effects of atherosclerosis,
the following foods and nutrients should be
incorporated into our daily diet as they have
been found helpful in slowing down the
progression of this treacherous disease

Pomegranate In a human clinical study, this
fruit has been found effective in reducing the
thickness of carotid artery by up to 29 percent
within one year. Pomegranate has also been found
helpful in lowering blood pressure, fighting
infection, reducing inflammation, and preventing
cholesterol oxidation.

Arginine Various clinical and pre-clinical
researches have revealed that this amino acid
prevents progression of atherosclerosis. It also
helps in reversing atherosclerosis by
stimulating the production of nitric oxide in the
endothelial cells. Garlic This popular herb has
been found effective in reducing cardiovascular
risk factors. An in vitro research has been
confirmed that garlic inhibits arteriosclerotic
plaque formation. Another study revealed that an
aged garlic extract can reduce the calcification
of coronary artery.

B-Complex Multiple human studies have confirmed
the benefits of B-vitamins in reduction and
reversal of atherosclerotic plaque buildup. For
example, B-vitamins have been found effective in
decreasing the thickness of carotid artery in
patients at risk for cerebral ischemia.
